Environmental Protection Talks Need To Be Prevented By Local Governments.

Environmental regulation is constantly being directed at local leaders.

Recently, the Ministry of environmental protection has conducted an open interview with the leading comrades in charge of the people's Government of Zhumadian municipality of Henan Province, referring directly to 30 forbidden leather enterprises in its jurisdiction.

Local governments are the main body responsible for pollution control.

In the way of environmental protection, the Ministry of environmental protection changed the environmental supervision from the "look up the enterprises as the main" to "check the governor side by side and the governor - government", which should be said to seize the "cattle nose".

Judging from the effect of last year's interviews, the results are remarkable.

But do not think that with environmental talks, environmental protection will be all right. We must know that "there are policies and countermeasures." as long as the misconception of the local government's achievements has not been fundamentally changed, it will inevitably bring about "under the counter measures".

According to the "key points of the national environmental monitoring work" issued by the Ministry of environmental protection in 2015, the targets of environmental protection are mainly local governments and relevant departments responsible for the implementation of new environmental laws and environmental problems.

The new environmental protection law stipulates that the local people's governments at all levels should make a decision to shut down and close the business according to law. If the consequences are serious, the principal responsible person should take the blame and resign.

From the point of view, "the local people's governments at all levels should make a decision to shut down and shut down according to law without causing serious consequences", which should be a prominent case in implementing the new environmental law.

It is foreseeable that after the environmental talks, local governments will actively rectify, but do not think that they can sit back and relax. Some local governments will probably just let the reform stop at the documents.

This is not a conjecture, just like the relevant government departments in Chengmai County of Hainan province. Since 2013, more than ten documents have been issued for the rectification of enterprises, and the problem of pollution has not yet been determined until corporate governance is dragged on.

On the surface, environmental talks have played an important role. In fact, they have been perfunctory. They not only help the pollution control, but also encourage polluting enterprises in a disguised way.

。

If the Ministry of environmental protection only talks about environmental protection and does not conduct substantive inspections on the rectification of local governments, then environmental talks will not achieve the desired results.

In addition, polluting enterprises are mostly local tax households, which are related to the economic development trend of one place.

Employment is even linked to private interests of some departments and individuals.

This will inevitably lead to "intermittent blindness", which is often seen in environmental law enforcement. That is to say, in the face of harsh environmental talks, the local government has resolutely managed to improve the environment, and the environmental talks have gone on and on again.

In view of the mobility of officials, this period may have experienced the alternation of several local governments and their relevant departments, thus bringing great difficulty to the accountability according to law, and also making some local government leaders dare to take risks.

So,

It is necessary to conduct interviews on the basis of the Interim Measures of the Ministry of environmental protection, and intensify the law enforcement inspection of "looking back" on the implementation of the local government's rectification and reform. We should not only listen to what they say, but also look at what they do; look both in the short term and in the long run, and implement the accountability of environmental protection, forcing the local government to fulfill the promise of environmental negotiation.

At the same time, we should actively guide local governments to establish a correct view of achievements, earnestly implement the responsibility of pollution control, and do not wait for environmental talks to start pollution control.

The content of the interview and the promise to be signed and signed by the interviewee is more comprehensive and detailed to the public. The more people can participate in the governance of the environment, the more can the local government make efforts to practice the promise of environmental governance, and the more it can guarantee the realization of the outcome of the negotiation.

The Ministry of environmental protection should not only disclose the news of the local leaders to the public, but also make public the contents of the interviews and the commitments of the local governments.
